INTRODUCTION

Color perception plays an important role in object recognition and scene 
understanding both for humans and intelligent vision systems. Recent advances 
in digital color imaging and computer hardware technology have led to an 
explosion in the use of color images in a variety of applications including 
medical imaging, content-based image retrieval, biometrics, watermarking, 
digital inpainting, remote sensing, digital multimedia, visual quality 
inspection, among many others. As a result, automated processing and analysis 
of color images has become an active area of research, which is witnessed by 
the large number of publications during the past two decades. The multivariate 
nature of color image data presents new challenges for researchers and 
practitioners as the numerous methods developed for single channel images are 
often not directly applicable to multichannel images.

The goal of this special session is to bring together researchers and 
practitioners working in the area of Color Image Processing. We are soliciting 
original contributions, which address a wide range of theoretical and practical 
issues related to the early stages of the Color Image Processing pipeline 
including, but not limited to:

* Color Image Coding and Compression
* Color Image Quantization and Halftoning
* Color Image Filtering and Enhancement
* Color Morphology
* Color Edge Detection
* Color Image Segmentation
* Digital Camera Image Processing (Demosaicking, Zooming, Postprocessing, etc.)
* Multispectral Image Processing
* Applications and Future Trends

PAPER SUBMISSION

Prospective authors are invited to submit either long papers up to 10 pages in 
length, or short papers up to 4 pages in length. The long papers will be for 
the single-track oral presentation, whereas the short ones will be mostly for 
poster presentation. In submitting a manuscript to APSIPA ASC, the authors 
acknowledge that no paper substantially similar in content has been or will be 
submitted to another conference during the review period. Paper submissions can 
be made at https://splab.cs.kitami-it.ac.jp/apsipa2009/user/action.php

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline: April 30, 2009
Notification of acceptance: July 1, 2009
Camera-ready deadline: August 1, 2009
